HP make JBODs that work nicely too (D2600 for 3.5" disks and D2700 for 2.5" disks) - so that might work well for Svavar. The only thing I haven't worked out with ours is how to map from the device name (WWN) to the physical slot. Someone on the ZFS list has IIRC. Support for this kind of third-party kit would be a great thing for OI to add IMO.
